I don't believe this is staged exactly, but I also believe that law-enforcement agencies across the world like to have a quick solution to crimes when they have sufficient pressure to resolve said crime. In other words, I don't believe this is a conspiracy theory, but I also wish other crimes were taken as seriously as killing a CEO.

I said yesterday to a friend, I would not be surprised if LE realise the killer got away with it and they find a scapegoat.

by Soft-Trouble7860 6 months ago

Murder is easy to get away with if you kill somebody poor that no one cares about. Just don't touch the elite.

by Randyoconner 6 months ago

Some of that stuff is not useful at all. They don't know where he came from or where he was directed, what does it matter if the y know in which bus he was or at what time he left? The wrapper and cup where not confirmed to be his, it was in the street could have been anyone's. And even if it was his, you need someone to have a record to have any use for his fingerprints. Same goes for the DNA. He paid cash for everything, knowing that he paid cash does not help at all. The only thing they had that was actually useful was pictures.

by Common_Shallot 6 months ago

That's OK when you start getting older and getting those big medical bills and get screwed over by your health insurance, you'll look back and go "Oh now I get it".

by gerlachnicolett 6 months ago

I am familiar with health insurance denials and medical bills. I don't think this random CEO dying makes any of that feel less awful.

by Common_Shallot 6 months ago

Agreed. As of now it has literally changed nothing other than execs tightening up security/body guards.

by Anonymous 6 months ago

I mean after he died bcbs instantly reversed their "we aren't paying for anesthesia if a surgery lasts past an arbitrary amount of time" that they had JUST implemented. So yeah, these people fearing consequences for their actions absolutely has an effect.

by Fast-Background-780 6 months ago

That is exactly one change and we'll see how long it lasts.

by Common_Shallot 6 months ago

Why is it weird to you? The whole situation points out societal issues that affect everyone living in the US. If you don't care, then you're probably out of touch

by Anonymous 6 months ago

The societal issue is people celebrating an assassination. I'm not saying you need to feel bad for the CEO but jumping for joy at an action that has no actual policy changes is proof that people just want violence or excuses for violence not change.

seems like he was having a manic episode. he had a spinal surgery and people said he changed after that, which can happen. planting this on someone is harder than just killing someone.

by Successful_Will 6 months ago

In a lot of cases involving intelligent criminals, they tend to show off their brilliance by leaving messages or signatures, which usually ends up being their fall as well. It is quite possible he fell for it too

Way too neatly wrapped up....complete with murder weapon AND written manifesto ? If it looks to good to be true it probably is..... This guy planned the whole thing, why wasn't the gun tossed into the Hudson River ? He didn't go camping for a week ? Does not add up....

by Jamie46 6 months ago

Yes. Exactly The NYPD and FBI together came up with a package of incriminating evidence, including a gun, a manifesto, and the fake IDs he used in NY. Then…. They made a bazillion copies of all of that and overnighted it to every podunk police department in the US (and maybe Canada) so that whoever found a guy that looked like the pictures first could plant the evidence and win a $1 million prize for their department. Yeah. That's easier to believe than a guy with an axe to grind carrying his manifesto with him, in case he got killed. /S

by milo82 6 months ago

It's not staged. It's a young, super smart kid with a passionate hate for our healthcare system who did a decent job of covering his tracks but wasn't a trained assassin so he got caught. Or, they just got the wrong guy and that'll come out in the next day or so. But come on, we're better than this. This is probably the kid that did it and he simply got caught.
